Blocked Drains Edinburgh

As a homeowner in East Lothian, you may have encountered the frustration of a clogged drain. Before reaching for harsh chemicals or calling a professional, consider a natural and cost-effective solution: baking soda and vinegar. This dynamic duo can effectively clean your drains, leaving them flowing freely and odor-free.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a natural abrasive that can help break down and dissolve blockages in your drain. Vinegar, on the other hand, is a natural acid that can help dissolve mineral deposits and grease. When combined, these two ingredients create a chemical reaction that can help dislodge and clear clogs.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit in the drain for 1-2 hours, allowing the chemical reaction to take place.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

• Cost-effective: This natural solution is a fraction of the cost of chemical drain cleaners.
• Environmentally friendly: Baking soda and vinegar are non-toxic and biodegradable.
• Gentle on pipes: Unlike harsh chemicals, baking soda and vinegar won't damage your pipes or cause corrosion.

• Hair and soap scum buildup in bathroom drains
• Grease and food particles in kitchen sinks
• Mineral deposits and sediment in water pipes

• As a preventative measure: Regularly using baking soda and vinegar can help maintain clear drains and prevent clogs.
• For minor blockages: If you notice your drain is slow or clogged, try using baking soda and vinegar before resorting to more drastic measures.
• Before jetting: If you need to use a high-pressure water jet to clear a blockage, using baking soda and vinegar beforehand can help loosen the clog and make the process more effective.

• If the blockage persists after using baking soda and vinegar
• If you have a severe blockage or clog
• If you're unsure about the cause of the blockage or how to clear it
